I don't claim to have any medical expertise but I've worked in PR related industries for more than 30 years and City have always been poor at separating facts from hopeful speculation

By the time he returns it will be five months since De Bruyne went off injured at Burnley in mid August.
That's fine, but how many times have we been reading utter garbage that his recovery was ahead of schedule?
The same with Doku and Haaland. Everything just seems to drift with seemingly nobody knowing anything

You mean the club aren’t letting our rivals know if our best players will be in or out of the squad? How mean of them :)

The club is doing the right thing , tell the opposition nothing , but its frustrating for the fans we dont even get to know what the injury is most of the time , Doku is "muscular" Stones is "ankle" Haaland "bone in foot / ankle" we do know what KDB problem was because he pulled up against Burnley.
Not sure Pep stresses about injuries either , he gets on with what is available and leaves it to the the doctors /fitness team , hopefully we get everyone fit and ready for end of January when we go into overdrive and string a few victories together and get ready for the return of the Champs laeage.

No one outside the club needs to know anything about our injury situation including us as fans.

Pep never blames or uses injury's as an excuse.

Also you don't give your opponent's any sign of hope or advantage, who knows Haaland could be out for a very long time, but if he is, keep it in house.

Emotional stress maybe considering what happened in the week.

Think he had a knock as well?

I think haaland had played through the pain barrier for a while and it was always the plan to give the Xmas fixtures off and get him right and back for Newcastle

His movement and control has seemed quite off, i was thinking the same to be honest. He looked off on his timing. And given the sample of last season, he always had impeccable timing and control under his shots.

Lovely stuff.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Poor Huddersfield.

 

[jimharri]

Poor Huddersfield.

Can't see any of them starting. Second half subs, maybe; 20 - 30 minute run outs.

 

[wolviedinho]

Excited !!!!!!!

I wouldn’t play Kev until Burnley. Give him another weeks rest, this weekend and next weekend, and then he goes away warm weather training in Abu Dhabi with the team. We don’t need him against Huddersfield as that should be a formality. And we shouldn’t risk him against a big and physical Newcastle team. Burnley at home would be the ideal first game back for Kev.

For those of us that don't have twitter, what is breaking? Are they all fit to be in the next squad?

I’d give him 20 mins in the cup game on Sunday,same again all being well Newcastle then the possibility of slightly longer against Burnley either starting and playing first half or coming on for the 45mins second half ..

All three trained today/tonight ..

Excellent news. Cheers.

Excellent news. Cheers.

Hard to know how far down the line they're, as I think today is the first day I've seen pictures of Haaland and Doku training.

You'd hope it's been nicely timed to give a welcome boost ahead of the 2nd half of the season.

I'd imagine all will be available for selection against Burnley, with Kev likely on the bench for Huddersfield and Newcastle, but getting minutes in both.
